Essilor Lens
Advanced Lens Technology, Backed by Global Innovation
Vision Solutions Backed by Over 170 Years of Innovation
No two pairs of eyes see the world in exactly the same way. Essilor prescription lenses are built on that understanding, offering purpose-designed solutions for children’s growing eyes, digital-age lifestyles, presbyopia, and everyday sun protection. With roots dating back to 1849 and now part of EssilorLuxottica, the world’s leading eyewear group, Essilor has spent generations researching how light, lens design, and materials work together to support clearer, more comfortable vision.
From clinically proven myopia control for kids to advanced progressive lens designs for evolving presbyopia, Essilor’s lens technology is developed and tested to real-world standards, so what you see — and how comfortably you see it — is backed by genuine science rather than guesswork. Choosing Essilor lenses means choosing a globally trusted, evidence-based lens solution built around your prescription, lifestyle, and long-term eye health.
Myopia Control
Childhood myopia is a growing global concern, with progression often fastest in the school years. Essilor’s Stellest lens uses H.A.L.T. (Highly Aspherical Lenslet Target) technology — a central clear zone for sharp vision, surrounded by 11 rings of tiny aspherical lenslets that create a volume of defocus in front of the retina to help slow the eye’s excessive growth. Key benefits include:
- Slows myopia progression by an average of 67% compared to standard single vision lenses when worn consistently
- Safe and easy to wear, just like regular single vision glasses, with no special fitting required
- Backed by multi-year clinical studies, with results published out to five years of wear
- Recognised as one of the first spectacle lenses to receive FDA market authorisation for slowing paediatric myopia progression
Single Vision Lenses
Designed for the digital age, Essilor’s Eyezen range is an enhanced single vision lens built to ease the visual demands of screens, smartphones, and other close-up digital tasks. Rather than just correcting your prescription, Eyezen lenses add a layer of everyday visual comfort:
- A boost of accommodative relief at the bottom of the lens, helping the eyes relax during near and digital tasks
- Smart light filtering that reduces exposure to harmful blue-violet light while letting beneficial light through
- Available in different design levels tailored to different age groups and visual demands, from young adults through to early presbyopia
- A popular option for anyone spending several hours a day on phones, tablets, or computers
Progressive Lenses
Essilor’s Varilux range is the world’s original progressive lens, first invented in 1959 and continually refined ever since to address the common frustrations of progressive wear — including the “swim” or off-balance feeling some wearers experience. The latest Varilux XR series brings together three exclusive technologies:
- XR-motion — uses behavioural data to model and predict natural eye movement, tailoring the lens design to how you actually use your eyes
- Nanoptix — smooths distortion at the lens periphery to minimise the swim sensation during activities like walking on stairs
- Xtend — blends the near and intermediate zones for clearer vision at arm’s length, ideal for computers, tablets, and phones
With the majority of wearers adapting on their very first day, Varilux offers a range of designs to suit different lifestyles and budgets, with options for transitions and anti-reflective coatings to complete the lens.
Sun Solutions
Essilor’s Xperio range is purpose-built for genuine outdoor comfort and protection, going beyond standard tinted sunglasses. Xperio Polarised lenses allow only vertical light through the lens, eliminating the horizontal glare that reflects off roads, water, sand, and snow. Key benefits include:
- Eliminates blinding glare from wet roads, water, and other reflective surfaces
- Xperio UV lenses offer E-SPF® 50+, one of the highest levels of UV protection available in a sun lens, blocking 100% of UVA and UVB rays
- Enhanced contrast and colour definition for sharper, more natural outdoor vision
- A wide range of tints, gradients, and mirror finishes, suited to driving, sport, and everyday wear
Photochromic Lenses
Transitions lenses are Essilor’s light-reactive lens range, clear indoors and darkening automatically outdoors, backed by more than 30 years of photochromic research and development. The latest generation, Transitions GEN S, is the fastest-reacting lens in the range to date:
- Activates to a category 3 tint in as little as 25 seconds outdoors, and fades back to clear in under two minutes
- Blocks 100% of UVA and UVB rays, with additional protection against harmful blue light
- Available in an expanded range of colour options to suit personal style
- Transitions XTRActive is also available for light-sensitive wearers, offering extra darkness outdoors, in hot climates, and even behind the car windscreen
Blue Light Lenses
Everyday digital habits mean our eyes are exposed to blue-violet light more than ever, alongside UV exposure outdoors. Essilor’s Blue UV Capture technology takes a different approach to standard blue light coatings by integrating the protective filter directly into the lens material itself, rather than relying solely on a surface coating:
- Filters out harmful blue-violet light while allowing beneficial blue-turquoise light to pass through, which supports natural mood and alertness
- Offers up to 3 times more protection against harmful blue-violet light than a regular prescription lens
- Provides 100% UV protection from the front of the lens
- Designed to avoid the yellow residual tint and visible blue reflections common in older blue light lens technology, for a clear, cosmetically clean lens
Crizal Lens Coatings
A great lens deserves a coating that protects it. Crizal is Essilor’s anti-reflective coating range, developed to reduce glare while defending your lenses against everyday wear and tear:
Crizal Sapphire HR
Essilor's most advanced anti-reflective coating, combining 360° reduction of reflections from every angle with strong scratch resistance, smudge resistance, and UV protection, for the clearest, most discreet lenses in the range
Crizal Rock
Built for durability, offering some of the strongest scratch resistance in the Crizal range, along with reduced reflections, water and dust repellence, and UV protection — ideal for active lifestyles, hands-on work, or anyone tough on their glasses
Crizal Prevencia
A protective coating designed to help reduce exposure to harmful blue-violet light and UV rays, supporting long-term eye health alongside all the everyday benefits of an anti-reflective, smudge-resistant lens
Crizal EasyPro
A reliable everyday coating offering anti-reflective performance, smudge resistance, and solid UV protection, for lenses that are easier to keep clean and comfortable to wear
